Kamehameha Schools sues to evict Fisher Hawaii

Kamehameha Schools has sued local office supply company Fisher Hawaii in an attempt to evict the retailer from its warehouse store in Kakaako.  

The trust filed the lawsuit in Hawaii District Court today after failing to negotiate an amicable move out date following what Kamehameha Schools said was months of discussions.

A Fisher representative could not be reached immediately for comment.

Kamehameha Schools said Fisher’s lease for the warehouse at 450 Cooke St. expired in 2009. The two parties executed a 5-year extension with the understanding that the trust planned to redevelop the Fisher store site as part of a master plan with seven residential towers and retail on nine blocks in the area.

The extension expired in July, and Fisher was unable to commit to a departure date, according to Kamehameha Schools.
